The serene,
tranquil Butt Valley Reservoir in Plumas
National Forest offers kayakers
extraordinary paddling opportunities.
Nestled among towering pines and vibrant
foliage, this remote reservoir is a
must-visit destination for paddlers of all
skill levels. Its calm waters are dotted
with a variety of watercraft, from leisurely
canoes to high-speed powerboats.
Paddlers can explore the reservoir's
picturesque coves by canoe or kayak,
immersing themselves in the surrounding
wildlife. The fun doesn't stop on the water;
the inviting lake also attracts swimmers and
anglers hoping to reel in prized rainbow and
brown trout. For a change of pace, visitors
can hike the miles of trails or find a quiet
spot to cool off with a refreshing swim.
Unfortunately, the 2021 Dixie Fire in
Northern California burned the area around
Butt Valley Reservoir. Despite this set back,
the serene beauty of this aquatic haven in
Plumas National Forest continues to draw
outdoor enthusiasts seeking extraordinary
paddling, fishing, and hiking experiences.
